Valentines Day is coming up and we’ve put together some sweet ideas that can help you show your
senior loved one just how much you care, even if you can’t do it in person. It can be a challenging task
for families who live far away to make Valentines Day special for their parents or grandparents. Whether
your senior loved ones live at home or in assisted living, there are things that you can do to make them
feel special on this national day of celebrating love.
- Have flowers delivered to their home – there are many florists who have a delivery option for
friends and families who want to show their love and appreciation, but live too far away to bring
flowers themselves.
- Handcraft your own Valentines Day card and send it in the mail – make sure to write a little
blurb about one of your favourite memories with them. This is sure to get them right in the feels
and make them smile.
- Connect with Video Chat – Just because you can’t make it there in person, doesn’t mean you
can’t talk with them online. Set a time for a video chat and involve the kids if you can. Create a
fun little skit to present to them or sing one of their favourite songs. If you’re terrible at singing,
even better! Its sure to put a smile on their face and make them feel appreciated.
